Determine what your emergency fund (CapX) number should be, then fully fund it before you start taking money out.I know many in this forum don't go about it this way, which I also understand as well from a purely financial side.

That the purely logical analysis.

I would say depends if you do photo or video editing for your presentations then maybe get a macbook pro but if it will just be purely documents then macbook or macbook air will do

Just another reason why I'd like to diversify, and try out some OOS properties that can cashflow better and avoid speculating purely on potential appreciation.

I enjoy speaking to others with PHD(Pure heart and determination).

I spend a lot of time looking at listings in all sorts of areas just out of pure curiosity and I wanted to hear what more experienced folk thought of this.

Do you mean financially or purely from an interest perspective?

@Allison Panila Based on pure speculation, it sounds like the LL imposed the extra $50/month in the hopes that it would cause the tenant to want to leave.

I invest purely based on cash flow (after initial investment, typically positive cash flow every year). 

Then it's hard for the defendant to claim that they didn't receive ANY of them.But purely sending an email is not "better" proof anywhere else other than in your head.
